Scientists and researchers working as part of the Event Horizon Telescope project have revealed the very first photograph ever taken of a black hole.
The photograph depicts a ring of light surrounding a shadow, which researchers at EHT explain is caused by “gravitational bending and capture of light by the event horizon”.
“We have taken the first picture of a black hole," said EHT project director Sheperd S. Doeleman of the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard & Smithsonian. "This is an extraordinary scientific feat accomplished by a team of more than 200 researchers."
